- Medicaid Cuts: State Senator Robert Singer warns federal budget cuts could burden NJ, forcing service reductions. He highlights concerns over Medicaid-dependent health centers like CHEMED in Lakewood, which could struggle if funding drops, LNN reports.
Singer is especially concerned about federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) like CHEMED in Lakewood, which depend on enhanced Medicaid reimbursements. Unlike regular clinics, which get about $20 per Medicaid visit, FQHCs receive around $140 due to their role in serving the uninsured. Reduced Medicaid funding could force states to cut these payments, threatening the centers’ survival.

we need to cut food stamps so food prices would fall, we need to cut section 8/ HUD so rent will fall and we need to cut medicaid so health insurance prices will fall, its really that simple.
ReplyDeleteCut the price of eggs (by gun control - ban mass chicken murder) will lower price of food.
DeleteCut interest and mortgage rates, Cut the extra bedrooms etc. Will lower price for rent.
Cut medical dysfunctional malpractice and liability insurances and protocol based "care" will Cut medical costs.
Trump's the greatest negotiator ever.
ReplyDeleteBy making believe for a few days that Zelensky started the war, he got Ukraine to agree to pay back the $350 billion, by giving the USA rights in their rare earth minerals.
Thank you Hashem for sending us Trump. And please, Hashem, please continue to watch over President Trump and his government.

ReplyDeleteDoes Chemed treat 6 uninsured patients for every insured patient? If not, they should not be getting $140 per patient. If the state paid the same $20 per patient regardless of insured vs uninsured, it would be cheaper. Also, Chemed has a sliding scale for the uninsured, it is not free. So apparently this is another gov't sponsored get rich quick scheme.

DeleteI would love to know what kind of kickbacks Singer is getting for all this
It's high time we stopped using our block power to vote for special interests who do nothing for the little guy enough!
DeleteThis is the 3rd time our dumb township is sttem6 to put sidewalks down the horrible trashy looking central. I hope they actually finish it this time. What about all the trees they promised to plant alongside the sidewalk??
ReplyDeleteThere already were sidewalks there all along central but it seems like they moved it further back to make central wider
DeleteAvi Schnall introduced a bill to help CHEMED get even more money back from Jersey care patients. The bill says if you go to a doctor and seen for a few different things they can charge for each even if it's the same visit.
ReplyDeleteNow who will be paying Jersey care to fork out more money???
The tax payers.
Schnall promised tuition relief that us why the rabbonim forced everyone to vote him in.
Why is he busy helping the rich get richer and done nothing about tuition.
The community was used and fooled
How much are they getting for dTap PR?
DeleteSenator singer makes a very strong argument for medicaid cuts. He also shows where his focus is -special interests
ReplyDeleteNo rachmanus on the FQHC facility who get paid 7 times more than a doctor for a throat culture and they keep on billing you non stop.
ReplyDeleteThese enhanced rates for FQHC while paying rock bottom rates to all other providers is ultimately depriving uninsured people of the ability to choose their doctor.
ReplyDeleteQ. What's the connection between Chemed and local 'fun unzerer' politicians?
ReplyDeleteA. Follow the money and then try not to believe what you will find...
While we are on the topic of corruption. If you are wondering what the construction on Central ave. that has been going on for a few years is about, the answer is nothing. Period.
They are fixing unbroken sidewalks and making a right turn only lane from Southlake Drive onto Central ave.
Why and who would wants to make a right turn over there, you ask?
The answer is: No one for no reason.
DOGE is here to even the playing field.
